be sure to stir it frequently.

Instructions
1 – Add the chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk to a microwave-safe bowl.
2 Microwave on power for 30 seconds. Stir well after microwaving.

5 At this point the fudge will still look chunky and unappetizing. Continue microwaving on power in
30 second bursts, stirring very thoroughly after each burst, until the fudge is smooth, shiny, and has a
pudding-like texture, about 1 minute longer.
6. Pour the fudge into a foil-lined 8×8 inch pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Chill the fudge completely in the refrigerator until set, about 2 hours.
8. Remove the fudge from the pan by lifting out the foil, then cut into small squares with a warm knife
for clean cuts. Enjoy!
Tips:
Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for the best flavor. Go for brands like Guittard or
Ghirardelli-
o
• Stir the fudge very well at each stage. This prevents scorching and yields a smootn velvety texture.
Chilling the fudge after makes it easier to cut cleanly. Run your knife under hot water and wipe dry
between each cut
• Customize your fudge with mix-ins! Try peanut butter chips, toffee bits, crushed candy canes, or
chopped nuts-
• Make it dairrfree by swapping the butter for coconut oil.
